Welcome to BGW!

Sounds like you have a '97 DCS.

New batteries need to be broken in before they achieve their maximum storage capacity, so that might be a contributing factor.
Here is how to break then in. http://www.cartsunlimited.net/Batter...n_Methods.html

T-605 only have 210AH and the stock batteries (T-105) have 225AH. That is a contributing factor.

A DCS carts had ten 6Ga high current cables and you have only upgraded seven of them to 4Ga. That is a contributing factor.

Are you running a stock controller?
What is the tire height?

---------
When properly set up, a DCS is a speedy cart with a lot of torque.

Yeah it's a stock controller I will get the rest of the wires today and the battery place talked me into those said it wouldn't make any power difference just die out about and hour early I feel dumb now

If you use a 400 amp control and HD solenoid this cart should go about 20mph & exhibit some speed and torque getting there on the stock motor. See our controller pkg # 505.

Also call the battery shop and tell them your not happy with performance, & ask if you can exchange the batteries for T105. Most shops will oblige.

Weehone · 07-30-2013, 12:16 PM

Ok I just switched my batteries for the 105s trying to find the other three wires now trying to avoid the controller issue for now. But what controller should I get when we are ready?

You will need to upgrade the solenoid also.

Check out the 505DCS and 606DCS packages about halfway down this webpage:

Also, read the text at the top of that webpage. Lots of good info on upgrading the drive system.
